    + Competent technical execution, much better than the first free game. + Successful nostalgia conjuration. I don't care about the use of AI - the game looks and feels old school - Overly formulaic, cliche-fest. None of the Lovecraft storytelling magic, probably due to lack of poetic approach and not very creative use of language - Abysmal puzzles with absurd solution, illogical and gamey - Paper-thin characters…
